what is involved in converting a manual start DT40 Suzuki to electric start.

just looking at it, I will need new flywheel and starter motor, ignition sw.

is there anything else and what sort of compatibility issues are there?

can I source parts from a wreckers (warranty issues).

Cheers
Burko


p.s. Australian parts suppliers pls.

it is not difficult to convert but to pull start a 40hp suzuki isn't hard, it should take with 3 pulls max .......

it is a brand new motor and the wife is finding it hard to pull start. I might wait to see if it loosens up a bit after I run it in.
